Honoring the heart of Atlanta health care. For 21 years, we’ve shared stories of nurses who go above and beyond. This year was no exception. Out of nearly 900 nominations, we’ve selected 10 of the region’s top nurses and one standout nurse leader to receive the 2026 AJC Nurse Excellence Awards. These aren't just titles; they represent the compassion, bravery, and grit it takes to serve on the front lines every single day. And a huge congratulations to Brynn Mills, the lucky winner of our Beach Day Prize Pack getaway, sponsored by Daytona Beach. We are so excited for you to soak up the sun on this well-deserved trip! 🖋️: Nancy Badertscher 📸: Braeden Snow #CelebratingNurses #AtlantaHealth #NursingExcellence #NationalNursesMonth
